Long known as the leader in advanced fire service training materials, Fire Engineering Books & Videos is proud to announce a new way to train the next generation of firefighters: Fire Engineering’s Handbook for Firefighter I and II.

Glenn Corbett, Fire Engineering magazine's technical editor, has assembled the top names in firefighting to compile what will be the most authoritative, comprehensive, and up-to-date basics book for Firefighter I and II classes. This real-world guide will meet the 2008 NFPA Standard 1001 and offer innovative ways to train the next generation of firefighters.

Fire Engineering’s Handbook for Firefighter I and II will be a highly-readable and thorough guide that engages the student and satisfies the needs of the instructor by covering basic fire topics and addressing techniques and issues that are relevant to the firefighter candidate. Inside these pages the instructor will find expert advice from the nationally-known leaders from Fire Engineering magazine and FDIC.

With full-color throughout, at-a-glance information, color photos, and detailed illustrations, the reader will easily make his way through our book without being overwhelmed or distracted by unnecessary elements.
